Knight of Cups

May 15th, 2010 by admin

knight of cupsAnyone who’s familiar with the Morgan-Greer tarot will realize I lifted this design from that card; the Roman helm is quite distinctive.  Because the backgrounds were mostly stylized landscapes, I didn’t have as much call to use red and purple. That’s what the cloaks are for!

Eight of Cups

eight of cups

The background scenery here reminds me a lot of the Glen Canyon resevoir in northern Arizona.  The patchiness of the glaze doesn’t work against the overall design as much in this tile.

Six of Staves

May 11th, 2010 by admin

six of stavesThis card represents a triumphal return.  My guy here looks like some kind of an acrobat.

I’m astounded at both how splotchy the glaze turned out and how bad all of these photographs have been. I blame the lighting. (A poor workman blames his tools, right?)

Page of Staves

May 5th, 2010 by admin

page of stavesThe page cards are just below the knights.  In traditional decks, the jacks took over both of them.  Pages represent youths, and in the Robin Wood tarot deck, the suit of staves represents fire.  In the Robin Wood tarot deck, the Page of Wands (same as staffs or staves) stands in the desert and has a string of firecrackers hanging from her belt.  I tried to copy that without plagarizing, and sort of ended up with this big-haired rocker guy who lost his pants.

Strength

Strength
This card traditionally shows a girl holding or wresting a lion, but I decided to use a tiger, just to be different.  I’m sorry about how the photo turned out.  It’s too glossy and too warm.  Am considering using better photo-editing software, but I detest the learning curve.
